Conscripts are male representatives between the ages of 18 and 27 who are subject to conscription for military service in the Armed Forces. On this holiday, thematic events are held throughout the country. The main goal of creating the solemn event “All-Russian Conscript Day” can be called improving patriotic development and education for modern youth, which makes service in the armed forces more and more prestigious.

The holiday is celebrated by employees of the Main Directorate for Combating Extremism and service veterans. GUPE employees identify extremists, fight terrorists, drug lords, illegal arms sales, corruption, and solve particularly serious crimes. On November 15, we honor those who, without sparing their lives, fight back against criminals. These people are always on guard, solving crimes and protecting the lives of Russian citizens.
